The 100

I thought The 100 was a show that was only going to be directed only towards teens but I couldn't have been more wrong. I ended up liking it a lot more than I originally thought I would, except for the last season (which isn't very good at all, especially the last episode). They completely destroyed Bellamy's character in the last season which I just don't get it at all. Everything these characters are doing the last season goes completely against what we learned about them for the first six seasons. Eliza Taylor (Clarke) & Bob Morley (Bellamy) have shown themselves to be up and coming stars. The two of them were both great throughout the series and led an all around good cast.

Before watching the 100 you have to accept the obvious: it is a drama put on by the CW (the same folks that brought you 90210) about a group of 100 teens left stranded on earth by a society that has been living in space for a century. It is needless to say that the show is going to ask viewers to suspend their disbelief for the 40 minutes it takes to watch an episode.

A lot of people tend to criticize the show for being unrealistic scientifically. The problem with this being that of course the show is going to be unrealistic. You have to accept that the premise of the show is that 100 teens get stranded on earth by their race of space people 100 years after a nuclear disaster.

Sometimes television programs don't abide by standard rules of physics, or any kind of science for that matter. Sometimes that's what television is there for - to give you a break from the believable.

If you are a stickler for scientific accuracy or a big fan of classic sci-fi the reality is that this might not be the show for you. If, however, you are someone looking for something exciting and (honestly) addicting to watch you might be in luck.

In regards to the script I can honestly say that I suffered through 90210 cringing all the way and while some of The 100's script might be a little cringe-worthy to start, it is certainly much better than most (if not all) of the teen dramas on television.

This is a good show! You just have to accept what you're getting yourself into.

This is the only show I watched where lead character (Clark) irritates you. Her decisions ruin flow of the storyline and prevent you to watch next one. In short great concept with bad storyline.

Only good thing is some episodes are great where Raven, Belemy and Murphy were in focus. Raven could be the main character.

From the first season I waited to see the survivors including the 100 will start to rebuild what lost on earth after the nuclear explosion (e.g., agriculture, homes). Then I realised its about war, war and war, so it never happened. Anyway still fine, but from a few seasons it's gets boring, then pick nice pace only in some episodes then become stupid again.

A selfish character is in lead role, taking stupid decisions. Clark saves 'my people ' by killing 'my people'. People survive and the human race try to survive by killing each other.

The reason why I'm writing this review is because I see so many negative ones. True, the first few episodes were odd, and had their problems, but the following episodes cleared things up a lot, and also developed the whole thing. This show didn't start out too well. Some concepts were odd. Like the technological inconsistencies. However, as you learn more about the Ark, it becomes obvious that the resource situation is hard. Make-up. Well, most shows suffer from everyone having make-up, when they shouldn't. It's a TV thing. What is important is the story. What I like about it is how the teens on Earth are still teens. They have their love life and general angst, but they are also trying to be adults. Sometimes it's almost "Lord of the Flies", but then the characters stiffen their spine and make the hard choices. In a way, it's like a study of society and people. Though times sometimes bring out the worst or the best in people. With all the hormones coursing through their young bodies, it's even worse. One thing is for sure with this show. It's not boring.

I started watching this because had nothing to do. First impression, low budget acting and mediocre scripters. But surprisingly, I got hooked. This show is actually good!

Now we do need to warn the nerdy, let's hang bugs Bunny for being historically inaccurate type of listener. A TV show is supposed to give you a break from reality so everything in it doesn't have to be perfect. This is a show, a make believe world made to entertain people. It does not have to be scientifically accurate to be good! Television shows are stories, not the real world, get over it for Pete's sake!

First couple of episodes will leave you with a weird feeling of watching a teen drama poorly written. But trust me, it gets better and becomes quickly interesting. Gives me the impression that the whole getting to earth episodes were not written by the same person. As soon as that passage is behind you, the show gets really interesting. Got me hooked!
